Position of Neutrality: Embracing Patience and Persistence in Steps 8 & 9 AA

Join Joe McDonald as he explores the importance of patience and persistence in Steps 8 and 9 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Joe sheds light on the reality that making amends is not always met with immediate gratification, and sometimes, it takes time to rebuild trust.Joe shares, “What’s it mean when I’m not gratified? I wasn’t one of those, or I’m impatient and not waiting for the change to take place. Have you ever gone to a family member and they’re like, ‘Yeah, catch me when you’ve been doing this a while. I’ve seen this show before.’ So sometimes it takes a while because our behavior has been a little erratic maybe for a while.”This session emphasizes the need for understanding that patience and consistency are key in the journey of making amends, and that unexpected positive outcomes can often emerge in the process.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.
